How do you expect to convince a prospective employer that you have skills, abilities, etc, worth paying for - and better skills, abilities, experience, etc, than 100 or more competitors for that one job? Employers want to know what you can & will actually accomplish for them.
The short answer is no. An AA or AS degree has no commercial value -- with our without a "major." The bottom line is that employers hire skills, not majors. An AA/AS degree simply doesn't provide enough skills or education for them to be of much use. Certificate programs that provide specific job-related education and training at a community college can lead to a job in that chosen field.
